[CH598+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 610

More and more level-up notifications ring in my ear as I push the dragon back even further.

Every time I land a full-powered hit with both my swords, I'm able to shatter the barrier and send this beast flying back.

The only problem is, I don't have enough time to throw the same powered attack at it right after the barrier is destroyed.

My Soul Energy needs to be re-channeled into my swords to create another slash, and the telekinesis-powered elemental attacks are nothing but a minor nuisance to the dragon. It doesn't even try blocking them anymore because they don't make it through its natural defenses.

The only attack that can really cause damage is the one that takes its full energy to break down its defenses.

As the clashes go on, we're both fully aware of this dichotomy.

It's not fast or powerful enough to catch me with one of its beams or its talons, and I'm not strong enough to break its barrier and have enough force to do actual damage to it before it can create another one.

However, we are both aware that I am getting stronger after every collision.

This sparks a new plan, and I begin conducting some new tests.

Instead of evenly distributing everything I have into two blades, I start to divide my power and test out swinging one sword first. My plan is to follow through with a second fully charged blade once the barrier gives way and go in for the kill shot with an attack that was not weakened by the impact against this immovable yellow hexagon.

While my first few attempts fail, sending me flying backward from not having enough power in just one blade, I quickly get the hang of it and settle into a routine while my levels and MCP rise after each attempt.

Attacking with just one blade is far more unstable, and I'm sent flying backward in less predictable directions, but it feels just the same as when I was attacking with two.

Every exchange gets me closer and closer to breaking through.

An odd unplanned phenomenon occurs after my level hits [Lv. 6371].

Instead of the usual time lag in between floors, many notifications hit my ears over the next full minute.

They rotate on and off with MCP gains of over 10 trillion each, making as noticeable gains as defeating the Director himself each time. The levels, on the other hand, only rise 1-2 after each kill.

As I clash with the dragon 3 more times, dozens of notifications ring in my ears, and I realize what's happening.

My double has decided the floor it is on is worth its time to farm MCP from.

While it would be pointless farming MCP in the millions, or even billions, the monsters on whatever floor it's on now are granting close to 1% increases in my mana control every few seconds.

My levels may not be moving fast, but my overall strength sure is.

Over the next 10 exchanges, it may look like I'm losing, as I'm getting flung even further away after each attack and tightly gripping a sword full of unused soul energy each time; but the reason for this is because my attacks are getting even stronger.

My double makes it to the next floor in the labyrinth after a slight pause in level ups, then the constant stream of notifications comes back.

I'm brought up to [Lv. 6495] over an additional 10 exchanges, and I receive dozens of MCP boosts ranging from 15 to 20 Trillion each.

My mana control surges, and my focus tightens on a single goal.

After one final boost of energy, I can feel that this strike will finish the battle.
